Bellhops

I had a great experience with bellhops the only thing was one of the guys was about 15 minutes late but everything was done on time actually about 15 minutes before my scheduled time was to end. And I was not charged the time for the guy who was 15 minutes late. They worked hard and had to carry furniture down a couple of narrow flights of stairs at times. They were pleasant and nice. I would use them again in the future.

Bellhops got the job done fast and very efficiently

Nathan and Ben were very polite and made a move out of an apartment very quick and easy. They arrived on time, worked hard and had the job done quicker than I thought possible.
I would definitely recommend Bellhops for a move in the Indy area.

I was moving from a one-​story home into a two-​story home. I wanted to hire movers, but I couldn’t justify spending the $ 600+ dollars that I was quoted by full-​service moving companies. I decided to rent a truck, get family to help me load it, and I hired Bellhops to help unload the truck so we could avoid having to carry furniture up the stairs. Both Bellhops arrived on-​time and were very polite. They worked extremely well together and moved really quickly. They unloaded the truck in less than an hour (reserved for 2 hours and only had to pay for the time they actually worked). My only regret is that I did not hire them to help load the truck, as it took us all morning to get it loaded. Would highly recommend — this is a really great service!

I had to move between apartments in the same complex (up 2 flights of stairs) and Bellhops was the perfect service for this! They were on time, fast, and very respectful of my things. They worked hard to get a particularly large couch out of a very narrow room (nearly impossible) and did so with only a few scratches. It was fun having them around and I would recommend this company to anybody.

They have excellent customer service, and are pretty nice about accommodating last minute moves, which is why I gave them 3 stars. All three guys even showed up on time and were friendly. All 3 are college students.
Here is why I wouldn’t use them again in my particular circumstances. I needed a truck loaded to move from Indy to Chicago. I already had different movers lined up in Chicago to help me unload the truck. I know how much stuff I have, and requested 2 guys for 2 hours. I also had my brother and dad helping me.
Bellhops don’t know how to load a truck. They would be fine help for unloading a truck. Luckily my dad was able to step in and supervise loading and tying so I could be free to supervise the carrying out of stuff, and in what order to take it to the truck. Do NOT rely on the bellhops to load your truck correctly. (And in their defense, the service doesn’t pretend their movers are pros, and say as much.)
The service sent me 3 guys even though I requested 2. They said they thought my move would take longer than I estimated (they were wrong). It’s $ 40/​guy/​hour. That meant $ 120/​hour, which is more than professional movers charge in Chicago, and INCLUDES a truck. I had to rent my truck separately.
When I lived in Chicago before, I had movers load the same amount of stuff into a truck they brought, drive the truck to the new apartment and unload it into a third floor walkup all in 2 hours. They charged $ 115/​hour for 3 professional guys. Then I paid each a $ 20 tip for being awesome.
Having the third guy for this move was not necessary. Two of the three were not very strong or much bigger than me, and needed me to give them specific directions, otherwise they just stood around. The other guy was awesome and motivated. You don’t get to choose who comes to help you.
I didn’t need help with packing, but that’s another service you could not depend on with these guys. That would be a bad idea.
To summarize, I’d say only use them to help unload a truck or to move a couple pieces of heavy furniture. Just get 2 guys for $ 80/​hour. They are nice, and will show up and do that job just fine. Otherwise, hire pros.

I cannot thank my fellow Unilocalers enough for making me aware of Bellhops. Recently, I moved from one downtown apartment to another (probably about 3 miles apart) and was in need of some help in doing some heavy lifting on furniture from my previous apartment.
I was impressed with Bellhops and those who helped me throughout the entire experience. Zach and Nathan were awesome!
I received an email the day before the move introducing the Bellhops and putting a face to the names of those who would be helping me. The morning of the move, one of the Bellhops contacted me to let me know he was on the way and the other arrived shortly after that. Both of them were about 10 minutes early.
Both of the guys worked fast and were careful with my furniture. I will say I didn’t think they were that strategic about packing the U-​Haul (not that I would have done any better!) but everything still ended up fitting so not a big deal.
They packed up one apartment, loaded it into the van and unpacked at my new apartment (this time having to deal with an elevator) in a little over an hour. I helped them out with some of the smaller items (which I was expecting) but I still was impressed at how quickly we got done and really appreciated them working hard.
Each Bellhop is $ 40/​hour plus tip. Booking online for the time and date you want is easy and you put a $ 1 down payment on the service prior to the move. As soon as the Bellhops clocked out, I received a text and an email asking me to review their work and that is when I was able to include the tips. I really liked how there were not any extra fees and that even though I had originally booked them for 2 hours, I was only charged for the amount of time they worked.
Overall, highly impressed and I would definitely use Bellhops for future moves.
Feel free to message me if you’d like a referral code for $ 20 off your first move.

I purchased a Groupon for Bellhops for a move between apartments. The morning of the move, one mover showed up right on time but the second one didn’t show. I thought he may be running late, but soon found out that Bellhops had switched him to another move without replacing him (or notifying me). We moved my belongings as best we could with just me and the mover, hoping that Bellhops would get someone on the job at some point (they never did). Finally, I got a call that 2 movers would come. They never came. I called again and the service rep said she would try to see what the deal was, never heard back. I called again and finally was connected to a service rep who seemed to care. They ended up hiring a third party company to move me as no Bellhops were available. I was ecstatic to have 2 movers at this point, but my total experience took 8 hours to even get to this point (and many UHAUL extensions due to the inconvenience).
That being said, the one Bellhops mover that did come was great and did everything he could to help in what had to have been a stressful situation for him.

I had a good but not great experience with Bellhops. As others have said, these guys are not professional movers – they are more like having your friends help you move. (Well, if your friends are young and have strong backs…) They were friendly, respectful, and accommodating. They were careful, but didn’t exactly have expertise with moving, such as how to carry and stack things. They were easy to work with but not very efficient.
They did not pack my truck very well – so we had to leave about one-​third of my boxes in storage. That was disappointing. I had no large furniture, no couch, no dresser, only a double bed, a couple living-​room chairs, and lots of boxes. It didn’t seem that difficult. But I will need to hire 2 guys for a couple more hours and rent another truck to finish the job. All told, I saved money by the hour, but will take twice as long, so the economics just don’t work out for me.
I was surprised that they did not bring water, or snacks, or pain killers, or gloves for the 4 hour move. After about two hours they were getting tired, complaining of a backache, had a sliver in their hand and so on. I gave them lots of glasses of water, granola bars, and aspirin, which was not a problem, but I think they should have been better prepared. I will go with professional movers next time.

We found Bellhops via Groupon. Before ordering, I called Bellhops to ask a few questions and unlike other companies, Bellhops didn’t have any «hidden» or extra fees/​charges, only a very reasonable travel charge.
The customer service reps over the phone were very nice, polite and were able to answer all of my questions. I ordered the Groupon then booked the guys about 10 days out. Bellhops called me confirming the order just a couple days after.
I got an email days before the move that introduced our Bellhops. The night before the move, the lead mover called again to confirm for the next day.
Saturday came and our guys called before arriving and again when they were en route. We were very impressed how well they communicated and kept us in the loop.
The guys arrived and went to work right away. They loaded from a 3^rd floor walk-​up in Whitestown then unloaded in Indy, 10 miles away in just 2 hours.
Bellhops were very prompt, polite & extremely efficient. We could not be happier from the customer service line to the guys that helped with our move.
We will definitely be referring them as well as using them again if needed. Thank you Bellhops !

Johnathan and Wilson helped with my move. They were awesome! They were early, didn’t complain about anything, and were great at communicating with me. I had them put a couch thru a second story window and they didn’t even seem concerned. They just got it done and with ease.
From beginning to end the experience with Bellhops was awesome: Justin helped me set up my appointment on the phone and Julia helped me apply my Groupon using the chat feature on my bill.
I would recommend Bellhops to anyone needing help with moving.

Highly recommend Bellhops, and are planning on using them again with our next move in a year. Our Bellhops were on time, clean, courteous and took great care of our stuff while moving them (most heavy items had to be moved up 2 flights of stairs and they had a great attitude through it all).

We used Bellhops to move from two apartments into one. It was a great experience, the Bellhops were prompt, courteous, and flexible. They were eager to make sure that we were pleased with everything and happy to make accommodations as needed. Overall, they were very friendly and eager. More than anything, they just helped the job get done faster because they were extra strong bodies. But, I would caution against moving anything too valuable with them since they aren’t professionally trained.

Great service. Johnathan and Tony were fabulous. We were moving off the IUPUI campus. They were fast, efficient and professional.
They showed up on time. Cleaned everything up. Took items I didn’t want to the trash. They followed my directions to the letter.
I found the price of the service to be fair and reasonable .
This is your best choice if you are moving out of a dorm or apartment. I wish I had known about them sooner. The college moves would have been so much easier.
I will definitely use them again.
A+++ service

I used Bellhops for the first time today and could not have asked for a better experience. Isaak and Irving were right on time, super friendly, and worked very hard to pack the truck as efficiently as possible. Best $ 160 I’ve spent in a long time and I know my friends and family appreciated it too! Looking forward to another great experience with Bellhops!

Had a problem with one of my movers backing out right before the move. Had to do the first hour with only one person, but they didn’t charge me for that hour and found someone to replace the missing mover.
It is like an Über for movers. It’s a really smart idea and I am sure someone will buy the company out and take it public.

Overall satisfied with the service, but was highly disappointed when I paid for two movers and only one showed up. The whole point of hiring help was for my boyfriend and I to avoid the heavy lifting, and due to this glitch, we weren’t able to. The one employee that did show up was friendly, professional and on time. I am still giving 4 stars because he stayed to help until we finished, and the company gave us a full reimbursement for the oversight.

Our movers were on time, eager to help, hardworking, and polite. Professional set up from start to finish!

I chose Bellhops over other companies due to the cost — at the time, I paid $ 40/​hour/​person with no additional fees (except tip), which was significantly cheaper than similar companies (College Hunks, etc.). They have a generous referral program as well (send me a message for a code, if you like!).
I was pleasantly surprised by the work ethic and enthusiasm of the Bellhops who helped me move into my apartment. They’re not professional movers, but they worked very hard and were cautious with my belongings. Our particular Bellhops were personable and even gave me recommendations of things to do in the city. The only reason they’re getting 4 stars instead of 5 is because they were about 10 minutes late.
As other reviewers have said, this is an awesome alternative to making your friends lug your stuff!

Moving to a new town where you know no one? Have a ton of stuff but no friends to help you move it? Don’t want to pay $ 100/​hour or more for movers? Then Bellhops is for you! Our two guys worked in sweltering heat, lugging up dozens of heavy boxes, a couch, a dresser, bed, etc., and maintained a very positive attitude (unlike the stereotypical, gruff and rude movers portrayed in the movies). I would highly recommend this company.

Awesome company all around, great from start to finish. Prompt service, constant contact, great movers, efficient, took great care of our things. I can’t say enough positive things about the two young gentlemen than came (Christopher and Alexandre.) They made the end of a stressful moving day seem pleasant.
Used other movers previously for multiple moves and have never had such a positive experience.
Shout out to not only the guys who did the literal heavy lifting but also the people who answered the phone and manned the online chat!

Awesome company! The guys were efficient and professional, will definitely use them again!
